Transcriptional regulation: RUPture in the ER

Nature Cell Biology volume 2, pages E175–E177 (2000)Cite this article

Regulated ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent processing controls transcription by triggering the release of dormant transcriptional activators from the endoplasmic reticulum. This intersection of transcription and proteolysis has important implications for gene control, proteasome–substrate interactions and signal integration.
